Officials in Turkey believe Khashoggi was killed in the Saudi consulate, but his death has not been confirmed.

The newspaper said they received his column, titled "What the Arab world needs most is free expression", after Khashoggi disappeared just over two weeks ago. The Washington Post reported that Turkey had informed USA officials about audio and video recordings suggesting that the journalist had been murdered in the Saudi Consulate. He spoke by phone a day earlier with King Salman, and he said both deny any knowledge of what happened to Khashoggi.
